Question 1055397
.
if a boat travels 8 miles upstream in the same time it takes it to travel 12 miles downstream, and the boat can go 15 miles per hour, 
what is the rate of the current?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The condition needs to be corrected: instead of "can go 15 miles per hour" must be

"can go 15 miles per hour in still water."
